WOVEN FABRIC

Woven fabric is any textile formed by weaving. Woven fabrics are often created on a loom, and made of many threads woven on a warp and a weft. Technically, a woven fabric is any fabric made by interlacing two or more threads at right angles to one another.[1] Woven fabrics can be made of natural fibers, synthetic fibers, or a mixture of both, such as cotton and polyester.
  • Strong, resilient, and durable.
  • Resistant to shrinking and stretching.
  • Resistant to several chemicals.
  • Dries quickly.
  • Wrinkle-resistant.
  • Resistant to abrasions, moulds, and mildew.
  • Can retain heat-set pleats.
  • Can be recycled.

KNITTED FABRIC

Knitted fabric is a textile that results from knitting, the process of inter-looping of yarns or inter-meshing of loops. Its properties are distinct from woven fabric in that it is more flexible and can be more readily constructed
  • Stretchability. Knitted fabrics, particularly weft knits, exhibit remarkable stretchability combined with partial elastic rebound.
  • Wrinkle and Tear Resistance. Knitted fabrics boast impressive resistance to wrinkles, thanks to their looped structure.
  • Limpness.
  • Fullness.
  • Air Permeability.

Top 3 differences between knitted and woven:

  • Knitted fabric consists of one yarn, woven fabric by multiple yarns in crisscross patterns
  • Woven fabric does not stretch across the width, but along the length. Knitted fabrics stretch easily across the width and slightly lengthwise
  • Knitted fabrics keep their shape when pressed, while woven fabrics show the folds on the surface when pressed.
